Clydebank seemed to be well in position to win the league, but fell away,latterly ( happy for you to correct me if I am wrong. Only right that licensed teams who win their respective Regional top leagues should be promoted. As that is not in the current rules, play-offs for winning licensed teams will have to do. For a scenario that a region can/wants to pick a licensed team, who could have finished 3rd, 5th or 8th to be included in the play-offs is, as you put it - bonkers! We're in our 3rd full season now. 2022 Darvel and were licenced- fine ( we were 4th ). 2023 Beith unlicensed- Talbot finished 2nd and we were 4th. This season - Beith unlicensed and we'll be 2nd or 3rd probably - Talbot favourite to finish 2nd. So this isn't about us. In all liklihood we won't be the highest licenced side. It won't be in place for this play off even with fair wind. Good chance an unlicensed team may win next year. With calibre of teams a top 6 finish will be decent. This isn't about us. It's about some shift upwards in West. There's no good reason not to ... as so far it's mainly been that East teams might no like it as they'd much prefer to be playing Champions. I mean ... come on 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to soon kick off round two of celebrations . Did all the team and officials stay in the town and enjoy the night? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is something that seems to be missed with this at the moment. Getting a team into the play-off doesn't = progression.

I mean ... come on Aye there is. If you're not good enough to win your league you are not good enough to be given any further opportunity to be promoted. You can quote figures about how it's not about Clydebank all you want but for you and the other Clydebank fans it is clearly about Clydebank and your frustration about not being able to win the league and thereafter climb the ladder. Your team will get up in time but for now stop trying to gerrymander a route for yourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as well you know. I'm saying that the overwhelming majority of people here who are advocating the highest placed loser (note the word loser) should be allowed an opportunity to progress. But then you knew that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes of course I'm talking about Talbot - I.e. your team, you. Given you're ( Talbot ) historically the stronger team and likelier ( incl this season ) to finish higher up the league. This is our 10th season competing in same league - including Covid season. You've finished above us every season except perhaps this one. Given that this is not going to be brought in for this end season, then its very obviously not about us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks for the explanation but I disagree. Most Talbot fans AFAIK accept the fact that if they don't win the league they won't have a chance to go up. What I'm saying is that the majority of Clydebank fans on here and in fact the majority of posters who are in favour of a highest placed loser idea are Clydebank fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
